hmm. have you tried creating a new text file, rename it to "AutoExec.cfg" (without quotes) and placing it in your \Doom 3\base\ directory. you can put all the commands in there and it will laod them automatically so try the above console comands without the vid_restart maybe?

i really tried, but i honestly could not get this to work... i even tried the most popular HD patch but when i tried to run the exe instal for it, it would just cause my windows explorer to go idle on me (meaing it's just try to load but never load anything) and the only way to cansel the operation was the retart the whole system as canceling widows explorer in task manager is obviously pointless.

This all nice and whatever. But the fact that I have to enter consoles commands to get a game to work properly is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Agreed. I had similar problems with Quake IV too. But having said that, bear in mind the game is a bit dated, and there is the BFG version available too, which from what I've heard doesn't have the same issues.

i think it's a matter of your graphics hardware. i have a mbile AMD A8 in this laptop i'm using and i think the software's engine is having a fit with the hardware. most people don't have any problem running this at high res so the original Doom 3 was recommended for PC over the BFG edition for that reason. Also, Doom 3 has a robust mod community (no where near as much as that of doom's classic engine though) and it cost less. oh well, this gpu isn't much but it's 100x more than powerful enough to run this game, so i'll figure something out. thanks for the advice. i might just reinstall it and see if i can't edit the settings again regularly and seeif they stick this time.

Try as I might, the settings won't stick once starting the game, and the aspect ratio command line disappears entirely from the edited .cfg. The .cfg is not set to read only or hidden, and my Steam folder is installed to C:\Steam, so there shouldn't be any write permission issues.

Just uzip the file where you saved it, and the install instructions are in the read-me. It's a really simple install, it just requires copying one file to two locations.

Cheers. :)

Thanks to Venom, the author of the mod. The game looks even better than I remembered, and the options menu now has an af setting (only 8x, but you can force more through your cp) and some other goodies.

Hot damn! worked perfectly! in the words of the Heavy, "MANY TANKS!!!!"

'Tank' the gaming 'G*ds' for modders.

There is a bug, unfortunately, when in game and you use esc. to save (or using esc. in general - I think), any other menu such as options will not be on top - for some reason the save menu will get stuck in focus (on top).

So make sure you get everything set up when you start the game (before loading or starting a new game), if you don't, you may have to quit the game and restart it to be able to have other option menus in focus (on top).

If I find a work-around for this I'll post back, but it isn't that big of a deal once you get your settings to your liking.
